Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

A witch's 16th birthday is very special. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina tells the story of Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka), a half-witch half-mortal teenage girl. She’s been waiting her whole life for her 16th birthday, but something wicked this way comes, forcing her to choose between the path of light and the path of night. A Netflix Original Series from the makers of Riverdale. CAOS arrives October 26th

I'm quite curious to see this. I was a big StTW fan in my teens. As mentioned before this looks quite dark which I like. I seem to recall Melissa & co not being too excited for the reboot? I could be wrong.

Watching this at the moment and it’s not as good as I thought it would be. It’s basically like True Blood, except Sookie is a witch and younger. Hell, Sabrina even lives in an isolated house on a graveyard in the woods.

I'm at episode 3 and so far I don't hate it. The first episodes had scenes that were a bit odd though.I find the show's focus on being "unholy" rather humorous and I really like the dark spin they threw on it.I like the sisters as actresses but indeed as mentioned they might not be the most appropriate choices to portray the characters. They seem a bit out of place at times.

I just finished all 10 episodes. I really like the show and hope there will be a second season.

it almost reminds me of Charmed but with less magic which I wish there was a bit more of. I don't need the finger pointing spellcasting (although that would have been a nice tribute) and I don't need over orbing all over the place, but often I am left with a sense of it being more implied magic. This is at times fine for me but I wish there was more.

Even though this Sabrina is more of a brat than the original one, in the end I think it all tied well together with the direction of the show. I am very curious to see how far she will go on the path of night.

Overall I would definitely recommend but be aware it is not in anyway similar to the original show.

I hope it's coming soon. It took me a while not wanting to compare it with the original sitcom. But once I got to the point where I could "accept" Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina as a standalone production rather than a rip-off, I got quite hooked. I certainly think the writers do a good job in building up on the plot.

Isn't she? Whereas Zelda is terrifying and she'd be an absolute mess if given too much power or a higher status within the hierarchy.

I’d guess season 2 will come next Halloween to be honest. Netflix are really trying to push Sabrina for membership increases.

As much as I say I wasn’t impressed with it, I did watch it all and as much as I said I could leave a second season, I will watch. Netflix overall have really impressed me over the last few years with their original content that it’s killing the main US channel shows.
